Valerie Jardin's book Street Photography Assignments teaches you to train your eye and improve your timing in order to capture the decisive moment. Photographer, instructor, and author, Valerie Jardin, has been teaching photographers how to take better photographs for years. In this book, she provides dozens of prompts for you to practice in order to refine and improve your craft. These activities focus on themes such as street portraits, gesture, shadows, silhouettes, rim light, humor, and more.

Each assignment includes a description of the technique, various tips and tricks to practice, technical and compositional considerations, and an example photo that Jardin has captured when practicing the same exercise. Whether you have 30 minutes or three hours, each assignment is an opportunity for you to take your camera and hit the streets.
